Lennox Lewis was the first of a new breed of men. Men about 6 and half feet tall who were actually athletic, reasonably fast and coordinated. I see very few if any of the comparatively little heavys from the past competing with him. People just don't seem to realize how small previous generations of men were. Ali, in his prime in the late 60's towered over the vast majority of his opponents and toyed with them at distance. Lennox would be like his bigger, taller, stronger brother. Men are getting bigger and stronger and Lennox was the first of the really big, talented boys to showcase his skills. Top 5 alltime, so far.
Better, 3/4 of the people already, in this short space of time, believe that he beat a prime undefeated Tyson not a washed up Tyson only in name.
